[QUOTE="DDD, post: 593074, member: 35"] How many weeks does he have left until graduation? If it is six or eight, for example, I wouldn't attempt to identify the drugs and get him to stop right now. Likely I would stress with a circled calendar or a backward calendar that he just has to MAN UP for x number of weeks, accept the families help and get that diploma. Meanwhile, of course, no drugs in the house or cars...preferably no drugs in him. in my humble opinion the reason that grades plunge is because our difficult children can not maintain their focus on school, the discipline to go and meet the criteria AND smoke pot or do pills or whatever. Therefore exploring the drug issue in depth AND trying to climb the grades up etc. likely would be overwhelming and the easy answer is spend all day doped up. It is next to impossible to multi-task when you are stoned. Sigh. DDD [/QUOTE]
